INTRO:
Titan - Rock’s new T.V. Show
show of strength, speed, and agility to overcome an obstacle and gain the Titan trophy
Keep their eyes on the prize
To live is Christ, life is Jesus, we have to keep our eyes on the prize
The apostle Paul does the same in his letter to the church in Philippi
Philippians 1:12-
What is Paul’s main goal?
The Gospel
The Gospel Causes Pain
I got two choices, both require pain
One’s the pain of change and the pain of staying the same
One of ‘em leads to joy, other one leads to shame
One of ‘em leads to freedom, the other keeps me in chains
I wear a cross and give You thanks for my blessings, ain’t that enough?
Why you want everything?
Can’t you leave this part of my life untouched?
I thought following You meant I only had to say yes once
Now everyday I wake up You give me some cross to take up - Andy Mineo (Tug of War)
The Gospel:
Requires a response
Response is going to cause pain
Is not safe
vs. 13, John the Baptist, the apostles, generations of Martyrs
The greatest gift
Ephesians 2:1,
Ephesians 2:
To follow the Gospel is not safe and can lead to hatred, imprisonment, or even death
The cause was and still is too great to miss
Paul kept his eyes on the prize, how?
Jesus set the example of the cost of the Gospel, yet the reward was far greater than the suffering or the shame
Lead as You Follow
Philippians 1:14
Where does Paul find his joy?
In the proclaiming of the Gospel
due to his imprisonment
boldness of the brothers
Paul doesn’t have a “6 steps to a more joyful you!”
one answer THE GOSPEL
it’s enough, that’s what others saw in him, the gospel was enough
You’re being watched as you’re watching - People watching at the mall
Someone is always looking up to you seeing what you do
Lead as you Follow - To Live is Christ
Lead as you Follow
In vs. 12 Paul finds joy in the midst of imprisonment.
How would you have responded in the same circumstance, why?
Why do we struggle to have the outlook as Paul in our sufferings?
Has there been a time that you suffered for your faith, if so, what happened?
How did you handle the situation?
In vs. 14 Paul’s suffering led other to become bold for the Gospel, how did his suffering strengthen their resolve to proclaim the Gospel?
How can your faith encourage those around you? How will you accomplish that this week?
